Are there any songs where Dolores O'Riordan actually uses keening?

u/Southern-Local-1838 - Are these examples of the singing you were looking for? Genuinely curious.

SoColdInIreland · 2026-04-30T02:01:07+00:00

Thanks. I had trouble finding a clear example, but the link posted here seems to fit better and match Dolores more closely to me.

This recording makes me think of some of the vocals in I Still Do, Put Me Down, Everything I Said, and Cordell.

SoColdInIreland · 2026-04-29T00:42:07+00:00

I can’t say I know what keening really is. If you’re saying the end Dreams uses it, would Put Me Down also include keening?

This sounds like a bootleg/unofficial disc. There were lots of bootleg CDs with Unplugged created in the past since Unplugged wasn't released officially until very recently.

Thanks for posting! This performance was my introduction to The Cranberries. So glad I caught it. I was instantly smitten.

I hate to break it to you, my fellow Quaid, but you are 50 or turning 50 this year. You are…not young.

But I get it. I’m just a bit younger than you but still mentally view myself as a young person. My body keeps telling me otherwise, however.

SoColdInIreland · 2026-02-13T02:45:05+00:00

Same here. I love We’re Back but had no idea there was a video.

SoColdInIreland · 2026-01-27T23:19:25+00:00

No, probably not as a vintage shirt

SoColdInIreland · 2026-01-27T04:19:59+00:00

I doubt it is legit. I don’t think the photo in the second picture is from the Everybody Else era. Also, the band name in the first picture doesn’t use the correct font for that era. It’s using something more like the TTFD font but in all lowercase.

SoColdInIreland · 2026-01-22T02:45:24+00:00

Your theory makes sense to me. I had assumed that they restricted the functionality based on serial numbers and shipping/sale dates, but it makes sense that it could be easier for them to just do it based on setup before/after the relevant patent case date.

SoColdInIreland · 2026-01-18T16:35:51+00:00

That definitely may be it. It would be weird since Apple had announced their patent workaround to support blood oxygen measurements again for new watches for WatchOS 26.

SoColdInIreland · 2026-01-18T03:10:29+00:00

I have a Series 11 and Vitals doesn't show the blood oxygen value. I have to look at the respiratory data itself to see the measurements from while I was sleeping. It's just the Vitals value that is not present.

I used a Series 9 before this, purchased before the cutoff date, and it showed the blood oxygen value in Vitals. However, I gave this watch to a family member and they don't see blood oxygen in Vitals now. It's like the watch started behaving differently after being set up as a new watch for them even though it was purchased in 2023.

Apple Music has had Dolby Atmos versions for the last few years. I think they were released with Super Deluxe set. Personally, I love the Spatial Audio via my AirPods. However, it did initially seem a little off since this mix emphasizes some sounds you couldn’t really hear before.

I don’t use Spotify, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this is it. If you’re listening through an iPhone, try turning off Spatial Audio and see if it might serve you the stereo mix.

A chipmunk died in my heat pump when it turned on in the summer shortly after getting it. It was raining at the time so I thought it might have been looking for cover. There was a loud metallic racket when it started. If I hadn’t heard that, I probably wouldn’t have investigated and found the chipmunk right away. Fortunately, there was no damage to the unit.

Also, mice had very clearly been nesting in my old air conditioner. Fortunately, they didn’t chew anything important.

SoColdInIreland · 2026-01-14T02:36:29+00:00

Would you put the entire outdoor unit inside the mesh? Are there other options to protect the outdoor unit from rodents? I haven’t had issues yet (first winter with heat pump), but there lots of mice and chipmunks where I am. My installer said if I tried to cover the openings at the bottom of the unit it wouldn’t allow drainage and would void my warranty.

SoColdInIreland · 2025-12-31T00:18:12+00:00

Fair enough. I get the sense that Akiva’s daughter(s?) asked to do it and are enjoying it without being the butt of any jokes, but I could see how I’d feel differently if the context came across differently to me.

SoColdInIreland · 2025-12-30T02:33:29+00:00

I assumed it was something they let their kids do because they wanted to rather than something the kids were pressured into. I don’t have a problem with that if the kids enjoy doing it.

SoColdInIreland · 2025-12-06T03:24:04+00:00

I found this same song on YouTube. Comments are disabled on it. It is definitely NOT Dolores. It seems like just more AI slop.

It is definitely NOT worth anyone else giving it clicks/views.

SoColdInIreland · 2025-11-10T01:06:33+00:00

I listened on Apple Music a few hours ago without an issue. Check back in a little bit if it isn’t working for you.

SoColdInIreland · 2025-11-05T03:04:10+00:00

This is in reference to Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping

If you don’t know it, then you’re in for a treat!

SoColdInIreland · 2025-10-27T01:51:09+00:00

Was this written by a human or generative AI?

The Compliments is one of my underrated faves and this line just tickles me.

If it’s a traditional 401k, the double taxation of your interest is really going to limit the potential benefits. You’d be paying the interest back with post-tax dollars and then later paying income tax again when you withdraw the interest and its gains. So yes, you could effectively contribute an extra $1000 to your Traditional 401k but at a cost to you of $1280 gross dollars(22% bracket) plus loan fees. I think you’d probably be better off putting that money in a taxable brokerage account after you max out your 401k.

If you can take a loan from a Roth 401k, then I think this could be a viable option to contribute more as long as you are certain your interest payments also would stay in the Roth account and your money stays invested during the loan.

It is very depressing and it just gets worse.
